interactive real 3d in GUI

Hi guys.I am quite new to java world I encountered a project need to have a real model interacting in a java gui(I believe inside a JPanel).
I've been told to use vrml but it seems explorers can work with vrml player or cant integrate those with java. can somebody tell me how put this real 3d cad model in java gui with interaction?
or should I ask this in another forum??

You could take a look at JavaFX 2, which has 3D transforms -- see the section on 'Add 2D & 3D Transformations.' If you decide to go that route, any questions that may arise should be posted in the JavaFX section.
